Unabomber
1. He Predicted Tech Would Erode Human Autonomy
In his manifesto, Kaczynski warned that advanced technology would eventually strip people of their freedom and self-determination. not only has it stripped
2. He Called Out the “System” as a Trap
The Unabomber argued that the technological-industrial system doesn’t serve people, it abuses them. In "They Don’t Care About Us," Michael Jackson echoes a similar frustration with power systems that dehumanize and ignore unheard voices. Kaczynski saw this decades ago, framing tech as something that doesn't free the masses it controls them.
3.He Knew That “Progress” Had a Dark Side
Kaczynski challenged the belief that all technological progress equals improvement. Many use the word progress with delusion or deceit. The oversimplification of our attempts at perceived evolution is done so with the intent of desensitizing the masses to the moves of those in power. Imagine if everyone knew about the repercussions of evolution. The side effects explained at the end of a nation announcement read off like the side effects of a new medication you heard about between episodes of The George Lopez Show at 2 A.M., on your grandmas couch who’ve you been staying with for the summer.
As we step close and closer to a world of digital dominance we need to look at the root of our decision to change and explore branches of destruction that may ensue. There isn’t an answer for everything since most are doing the best they can, or the most they can with what little time we have on earth. Many of those in position don’t care if the title they hold took lives in the process. It’s more important to them if their name is remember in the end.
